Dear ones, I have, until now, strayed away from divulging my preferences for attire. It is not because I did not trust you with my ‘trade secrets’, for you have a sweet and trustworthy face. No, it was because I did not know you so well and feared you may think my choice of fashion retailers poor. But now that I see your kind nature better, it is clear to me that you will forgive what others would deem a fashion faux pas.
You see dearly beloveds, while anyone would attest to me being an admirer of à la mode, I will not walk into a store without first identifying a ‘sale’ sign within. Except, that is, in the case of recycle boutiques where ‘full-price’ is reasonable even for me!
Being a fan of The Recycle Boutique in Auckland, I was well pleased when it opened here in Wellington too. Although we already have Ziggurat, a fine establishment indeed, it does stray to the ‘pricey’ side a little often.
I have found Cue pants (~$30), Voon pants (~$40), retro NZ-made wedge heeled Fabia shoes (~$10), Seduce pants (~$20) – I really do wear a lot of pants! (or ‘trousers’ in the British vernacular). All of which I love. I also get a real kick out coming home with great gear at bargain prices…don’t we all…
I have also sold my own clothing at both Ziggurat and The Recycle Boutique, which helps subsidise subsequent purchases.
So now that I have shared my secret shame (actually I’m not shamed, I just like alliteration), tell me lovelies – where do you get your bargains?
P.S. I love this model’s beauty spot - I’m so gonna do a beauty spot post!
